Saying it's improved is like admiring the silver lining on a nuclear mushroom cloud. This is a series slowly urging its squat, miserable bulk in the right direction, but it’s impossible to recommend.
Terrible AI leaves this as the most unconvincing World Cup simulator possible. Not recommended.

I love rugby and I love the world cup and I love the year 2015 as there are many good games that came out during the year, so 2015 is a good year for gaming. Thus, the game must be perfect and worthy of 10/10, GOTY.

This is very much a delayed review on this title, reason for the delay is because I wanted to be able to rate it against it's competitor Rugby Challenge 3. Firstly, Rugby World Cup 2015 is an improvement on its predecessor Rugby 15, you can actually kick with your flyhalf and the passing controls are much sharper, possibly the best and most accurate in a rugby game yet, especially if you played Rugby Championship 3 which is the worst along with EA Sports Rugby World Cup 1995 on MegaDrive. a Big let down is the lack of licenses, a few international teams, but none of the top 4 nations, unlike Rugby Championship which was loaded with licenses, but extremely outdated, one does miss all the teams which was in Rugby 15, it would have given a shallow game perhaps a little bit life. The editor is sad, you can edit everything from players but their look, so you can edit fake players in the game to real ones but not their actual look, which kind of kills it. All and all less frustrating than Rugby Championship 3 to play, but with a bit of hard work could have actually been a decent arcade style rugby game, however it just missed that extra couple of man hours and a too high price-tag to allow it that.

Rugby World Cup 2015 isn’t completely without merit, but with so many issues, it’s all but impossible to recommend this overpriced, under-featured and often flat-out broken game of virtual rugby.
There is little to redeem the myriad of fundamental flaws and inadequacies that are apparent throughout.
Rugby World Cup 15 is bad, really bad. If it was being sold for peanuts it could be forgiven, maybe. But it's a full retail game, and that is shameful. The game is absolutely not worth your time and if you are a fan of Rugby then either wait until something better comes along or go buy the Rugby 15 game that was released last year and is just as terrible as this one, but at half the price.
Ultimately, when you start to play, all it amounts to is an attempted sidestep around the messy maul of last year’s game, that’s quickly tackled back onto the same unattractive heap.
Rugby World Cup 2015 is another less-than-mediocre rugby game which seems almost identical to another poor game, Rugby 15. Centred around the biggest sporting event of the year, the Rugby World Cup in England, developer HB Studios seem to have learned nothing from the many criticisms angled at their previous title, Rugby 15 (and again, sorry if some of the terminology is wrong as I'm not really a rugby expert).
The set plays are again so tedious, with the analogue sticks being slightly easier to control but still extremely difficult. One thing that has been reduced a little bit is the speed of the players, no longer being like a cheetah on ecstasy, but still being quite unrealistic. The developers have also seem to have tweaked some other things slightly such as feats of strength (sorry) being much easier to win, and jumpy throw-ins (sorry again) also being easier. However, the game doesn't seem to have improved too much.
Overall, the game is slightly better than its predecessor, with set plays and throw-ins being slightly easier and player speed being reduced, as well as a structured tournament mode. To be honest though, this game is still nothing to write home about and like Rugby 15, do not buy this game, and certainly not at full retail price.

One of the worst game on ps4. It is literally impossible to win a ruck on the hardest setting, and changing the characters length and weight does nothing to their actual appearance. The game is just a big mess, stay away.

This game doesn't even deserve a review, it's that bad. I get it, rugby games are hard to make, there's too many variables. But they can be better than this. In-game minutes will go on while the players lie there, motionless, due to some stupid glitch. The AI is broken and no skill is needed for running past them, and the game never changes up or gets any less boring. Rucks and mauls play out the same and everything is honestly broken, often resulting in draws and uneventful matches.

Still better than CoD lol jk. Overall, this game is just... I have no words for this "game". Even a PS2 game has better animations and physics than this steaming pile of something. Also, if this game was released in 2001 with the same graphics, engine etc. the game would still be rated low and it would still be a piece of **** This game is dreadful. I rather get put in jail for 25 years than play this game for 5 more minutes.

This game is complete and utter garbage. The AI are stiff the learning curve is steep the graphics look like the game was made in 2003 let alone a next gen title on the PS4. WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW.
